For prospective 9th and 10th graders, the high school open house will run from 1pm until 4pm, beginning with an introduction to Waldorf high school education. Highlighted through sample lessons, work displays and classroom visits, this presentation explains what makes the Waldorf curriculum relevant and vital for today’s teenager. The open house also offers an opportunity to meet our teachers. Refreshments and informal discussion will follow the demonstrations.
